I have been removing the bright work prior to painting on a 1966 four door sedan Lincoln Continental which is right hand drive. Usually the conversion is relatively easy to spot but the dash and steering gear in particular look very original.
Question is, were any right hand drive cars produced, or converted at the factory. This one apparently was sold new in Australia.

Re: 1966 Factory right hand drive
I would say yes. These Continentals were available to anyone in the world who wanted one; but in some countries a right-hand-drive conversion was mandatory. England and Australia come to mind as having such a mandate. I also know that foreign countries required the speedos to be modified to display KPH instead of MPH, and some built for sale in such countries were so modified.
